How to Rename a Photo on Yahoo! Photos

Using Yahoo! Photos, you can organize and customize the photos you upload in a variety of ways. You can customize your photos with decorative themes, add tags and descriptions that help you organize your photos into different categories and create albums of up to 300 photos. All the choices you make can be changed quickly and easily, including the names you give each of your albums.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Computer with Internet access
• Yahoo! account

1. Open the album containing the photo you want to edit by clicking on its name in the collections list. Alternatively, open “All My Photos” to view all the photos in your collection.

2. Click on the thumbnail of the photo you want to edit, then select “Names, Description & Tags” under the “Photos” heading.

3. Change the name of the photo by typing a new name in the “Name” field. You can also add a description or tags at the same time.

4. Click the “Save” button when you’re finished to save your changes and reload the photo window.

Tips & Warnings

• You can rename your photos and edit tags and descriptions as many times as you like.
• Names have a character limit of 40, and tags and descriptions have a limit of 200 characters each. These limits include spaces, numbers and symbols.
• Since you have a character limit for names, tags and descriptions, make your words count. Use names, tags and descriptions that help you identify the contents of photos in your album. This will help you keep all your photos and albums organized. If you have a large number of photos, giving them distinctive names will make it much easier to keep track of them all.
• If you plan to make any of your photos public, appropriate names and descriptions will also help people locate a specific album more easily. For example, if you’ve just uploaded a large collection of vacation pictures, you might want to give them names that include their location, the people in them or the date they were taken.
• Make sure you use names and descriptions that are work-safe and appropriate for children, if you intend to make the photos public.
